FRISCO — When life gets stressful, I turn to my dog.

With the overwhelming news of the COVID-19 pandemic, stock market roller-coasters and grim economic forecasts, I wanted to bring you a welcomed distraction: cute animal photos from Summit County Animal Shelter.

While schools and businesses are closed, there are many lovely cats and dogs at the shelter that would benefit from a few extra walks and pats on the head.

Remember: Your dog loves you regardless of how many rolls of toilet paper you have in stock.
